Acrylic Painting - How to Paint Loose Abstract Flowers with Acrylic Paint on Canvas

How to Paint Loose Abstract Flowers with Acrylic Paint on Canvas for Beginners!

This class is for beginner level artists.  I start off the class by showing you our model painting.  I show you all of the supplies you need for the class (also listed below).  Then I walk you through my painting process step by step.  I show you how I start my flower paintings by creating a simple sketch on my canvas.  Next, how I block in my paint colors, and how I build my layers to finish off my painting.  I also teach you the techniques I use to create loose abstract flowers.

Here are my best tips for painting loose abstract flowers:
1.  Paint with your non-dominant hand!
2.  Use a larger brush but shorter paint strokes.
3.  Don't even try to stay within the lines!
